My first trip to Alaska was in 1996. I came for the month of July and was completely captivated by the magic of the midnight sun. I hiked to waterfalls, trekked across glaciers, watched whales breach, camped in bear country, and caught my first halibut and salmon. I was hooked immediately — pun fully intended.

That trip sparked a lifelong love for Alaska and for travel. Since then, I’ve explored over 60 countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels, guesthouses, hostels, homestays, and B&Bs. Along the way, I learned what truly makes a stay memorable, so that it feels like home, not just a room.

I’ve poured all of those experiences into creating a space where you can relax, recharge, and experience Moose Pass like a local. My goal is simple, to make your stay comfortable, authentic, and unforgettable.

I look forward to welcoming you and sharing this special place with you.

Moose Pass is perfectly positioned to be your basecamp for the entire Kenai Peninsula, just 90 minutes south of Anchorage. Instead of packing and unpacking every few days, you can settle in, relax and explore in every direction from one comfortable home base.

Right here in Moose Pass, you’ll find endless hiking trails, pristine alpine lakes perfect for canoeing or kayaking and floatplanes offering unforgettable flightseeing adventures. One of my favorite simple pleasures? Packing a picnic and heading to the beach at Trail River Campground on Kenai Lake. It’s hard to beat.

Just 15 miles away, Cooper Landing offers world-class adventure. Hiking, rafting, kayaking, bear viewing, and legendary salmon and trout fishing on the Russian and Kenai Rivers.

Drive 34 miles south to Seward and you’ll reach Kenai Fjords National Park, where boat tours take you past towering tidewater glaciers and abundant wildlife. Humpback whales, orcas, sea lions, and sea otters. You can also fish for halibut and salmon, visit the Alaska SeaLife Center, or hike to Exit Glacier and the Harding Icefield for truly breathtaking views.

Historic Hope (39 miles away) offers stunning waterfront views and access to the thrilling Class V rapids of Sixmile Creek. It’s also a wonderful spot to explore hiking trails and enjoy live music at The Creekbend, which has transformed the old Tito’s Café into one of Alaska’s best weekend music scenes.

Whittier (55 miles) opens the door to Prince William Sound.
Girdwood (55 miles) offers scenic hiking, great restaurants, and the Alyeska Aerial Tram.
For the road-trip enthusiasts, Homer (135 miles) makes an unforgettable day trip down the Sterling Highway.

When I purchased this property in 2008, it had great bones and a lot of unfinished potential. Over the years, I’ve thoughtfully transformed it from the ground up. By 2025, the interior was redesigned and modernized for comfort, functionality, and unique character. The result is a space that feels warm, intentional and far more personal than a typical rental.

We’ve been hosting for 10 years, and after traveling to nearly 70 countries over the past two decades, we’ve developed a clear understanding of what truly makes a stay exceptional. We’ve experienced everything from up scale hotels to remote guesthouses and we’ve brought the best elements of those stays into this home.

Cleanliness is non-negotiable for us. We personally handle all cleaning between guests to ensure every stay meets our standards, which are high. Our goal is that the home feels not just clean, but impeccably cared for.

As a former chef, the kitchen is something I take particular pride in. You’ll find one of the most equipped and well-stocked kitchens in Alaska, designed for people who genuinely enjoy cooking, not just reheating.
